Right now, I'm in the planning stages for a new series. I've barely started writing—just enough to get a good feel for the voice—and I'm making lists and lists of things I know I want to include. It's a weird part of the process. There's not a lot to say, "Okay, I did this today." Ideas come randomly, and there's not much to show for it besides a lot of daydreaming. Here's how I'm trying to harness it all. (And make myself feel better about all that daydreaming time.)
